We realize the importance of and provide for the assessing, nurturing, and socializing of each ferret. We also provide education and counseling for the life of the ferret. As such, this allows us to be confident with each adoption, knowing that the new families are capable of providing a loving, permanent home.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger68125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2341485648785322917.post-57280093058918221722011-12-04T11:00:00.006-05:002011-12-04T17:52:45.631-05:00Bring your pet for pictures with Santa!Hello Animal lovers and friends, <div>Once again, "The Ferret Inn" has our own goodhearted volunteers posing as Santa and Elves at area Petsmart locations, on the dates below. </div><div><br /></div><div>We are asking you to bring your furry, scaly or feathered friends (our helpers are very open minded) to have their picture taken with Santa.

a fundraiser, and purchased much needed supplies and a 30 lb. bag of Zupreem with the proceeds!!<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">They also made dozens of adorable Faux fur ferret bookmarkers for us to sell. Glue a mini magnet to the back and you have a one of a kind ferret fridge magnet! <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">The final piece of the project was a huge hit with the ferrets.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Cardboard Castles made with tubes, tunnels and nesting boxes. We filled them with peanuts, and cuddly blankets and they serve as a playground with built in hidey-holes to stash their treasures in.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p

a friend of the shelter and licensed massage therapist. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>For the month of July she came up with a fundraising idea, “Massages for Mustelids.” She donated the tips she earned for the month from The Healing Path in Federal Hill, where she works as a massage therapist. Jean also has an in-home office in Curtis Bay and donated all of her income from her private practice as well. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Jean said that, thanks to many ferret-friendly clients who booked in July to support her cause, the typically slow month was very busy. In all, she donated $1600.00!! This proves what one person with a great idea and a huge heart can do. Thank you Jean, from all of the Kids at the “Inn”!! Please help us say thanks to Jean by booking your next massage with her, or if you have always wanted to get one, now is the time!!!<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;">Jean is proudly owned by 9 furr kids, and if you book with her at her home office, you just may hear a pitter-patter on her hardwood floor, which she says some of her clients look forward to. Given the response, Jean is considering this being an annual event!!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;">You can contact Jean at 410-637-3760 </span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11.0pt;">https://</span><span style="font-family:Arial;"><a href="http://www.thehealing-path.com/"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">www.thehealing-path.com</span></a></span></p> <!--EndFragment-->Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08872031298242518276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2341485648785322917.post-35468689728444391712011-08-03T14:12:00.001-04:002011-08-03T14:13:59.839-04:00Winner of the Owl Bedding Set!!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2os2yd67Poc/TjmP1MlSr6I/AAAAAAAAAEo/lfLmD7e25-M/s1600/Tika%2Band%2BSpirits%2Bnew%2Bparents%2BLizzy%2Band%2BChris.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636694552704364450" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 232px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2os2yd67Poc/TjmP1MlSr6I/AAAAAAAAAEo/lfLmD7e25-M/s320/Tika%2Band%2BSpirits%2Bnew%2Bparents%2BLizzy%2Band%2BChris.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#6600cc;"><strong>Congratulations to the winners of the Owl bedding set:</strong></span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#6600cc;"><strong>Lizzy and Chris who adopted Ti</strong></span><span style="color:#6600cc;"><strong>ka and Spirit from the Inn!!</strong></span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#6600cc;"></span></strong></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div>Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08872031298242518276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2341485648785322917.post-48921549779417564562011-06-29T13:57:00.002-04:002011-06-29T14:02:14.276-04:00EXTENDED!!

Unfortunately, he does have lymphosarcoma.<br />We have decided to follow a treatment plan that has proven beneficial in two of our other ferrets at the "Inn" who had the same diagnosis.<br />This will be a long term protocol needing a CBC every two of weeks, and if his blood work looks good, he will receive the chemo drug Cytoxin. In addition he will need radiographs, b12 injections for support , etc.<br />We are hopeful that he will tolerate the treatments well.<br />The other 3 members of the Garage Gang are thriving and enjoying their new found freedom and enrichment provided by the rice boxes, ball boxes , miles of tubes and tunnels, and most of all, the peanuts!!!<br />We are grateful for those who have come forward to help with the Garage Gang's initial work-up.<br />However, we still need help with Buddy's surgery cost and treatment. His surgery was 330.00 including the biopsy and his monthly medical expenses will average to 150.00 on the conservative side. We are hoping to raise an addition $800.00, to cover surgery and 3 months of treatment for starters.<br />We have a great Owl themed four piece bedding set on our blog http://theferretinn.blogspot.com/ and face book.<br />What a great way to help out Buddy and have a chance at a cool bedding set!!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RSKZCMNA35A/Tfk-1SHSkXI/AAAAAAAAAEg/vTcHQKmR5GI/s1600/IMG_3662.jpeg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 207px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RSKZCMNA35A/Tfk-1SHSkXI/AAAAAAAAAEg/vTcHQKmR5GI/s320/IMG_3662.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618591095237808498" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-m7x4alnQ29M/Tfk-sY9zYsI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/TdL6Fl2yWpo/s1600/IMG_3660.jpeg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-m7x4alnQ29M/Tfk-sY9zYsI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/TdL6Fl2yWpo/s320/IMG_3660.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618590942458241730" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EIWPu2KMvxY/Tfk-sNZbYJI/AAAAAAAAAEI/qpxLZJ_SWTE/s1600/IMG_3657.jpeg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 233px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EIWPu2KMvxY/Tfk-sNZbYJI/AAAAAAAAAEI/qpxLZJ_SWTE/s320/IMG_3657.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618590939352883346" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8iGDMcX3AcQ/Tfk-r0sxR7I/AAAAAAAAAEA/iFbp1SkgX-M/s1600/IMG_3649.jpeg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8iGDMcX3AcQ/Tfk-r0sxR7I/AAAAAAAAAEA/iFbp1SkgX-M/s320/IMG_3649.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618590932723124146" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5HDmtqdQa9E/Tfk-rrlKXGI/AAAAAAAAAD4/9uTCJ-fcLZg/s1600/IMG_3645.jpeg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 283px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5HDmtqdQa9E/Tfk-rrlKXGI/AAAAAAAAAD4/9uTCJ-fcLZg/s320/IMG_3645.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618590930275294306" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oSI4TNrX_rs/Tfk-soWjCcI/AAAAAAAAAEY/EQVwxr7_jd8/s1600/IMG_3661.jpeg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oSI4TNrX_rs/Tfk-soWjCcI/AAAAAAAAAEY/EQVwxr7_jd8/s320/IMG_3661.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618590946588559810" border="0" /></a>Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08872031298242518276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2341485648785322917.post-87708842317737912352011-05-26T08:45:00.004-04:002011-05-27T08:50:54.509-04:00A Thursday update on the garage gangThe good news is that the ADV results are negative, and just as important.. They all love their soup!! We serve it up in the morn and eve in addition to their kibble, and it shows. They are all getting a bit rounder, and gaining nicely, however Buddy is trailing behind a bit.<br /><br />Sadly, the cytology report confirmed the lump on Buddy's neck is Lymphoma. Ideally, since it seems that only one lymph node is affected, we would remove it. However, due to his heart murmur, we are treating with pred for two weeks, and will revisit our options at that time.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KjPgsqNtKKg/Td-dkocdSpI/AAAAAAAAADk/mNwf8uRYtdY/s1600/Sophia.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611376913384557202" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 285px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KjPgsqNtKKg/Td-dkocdSpI/AAAAAAAAADk/mNwf8uRYtdY/s320/Sophia.jpg" border="0" /></a>Sophia<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rOhqyNTXysc/Td-dZZg29fI/AAAAAAAAADc/znI8_OmhPMw/s1600/Sophia%2Band%2BChubbs.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611376720397923826" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rOhqyNTXysc/Td-dZZg29fI/AAAAAAAAADc/znI8_OmhPMw/s320/Sophia%2Band%2BChubbs.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Sophia and Chubbs<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vPAdudkq_Fk/Td-dY4_QKDI/AAAAAAAAADU/nN7EqwYbZrk/s1600/Chubbs.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611376711667034162" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 274px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vPAdudkq_Fk/Td-dY4_QKDI/AAAAAAAAADU/nN7EqwYbZrk/s320/Chubbs.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Chubbs in the rice<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RNmFAXDUa-g/Td-dXxy0JPI/AAAAAAAAADM/i3c26S8nDT4/s1600/Chubbs%2Bagain.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611376692555949298" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RNmFAXDUa-g/Td-dXxy0JPI/AAAAAAAAADM/i3c26S8nDT4/s320/Chubbs%2Bagain.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />more Chubbs<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LfXSL0P0efo/Td-dX1OG9AI/AAAAAAAAADE/kPApaHOJp2U/s1600/Buddy%2Bplaying%2Bin%2Bthe%2Brice.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611376693475734530" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 235px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LfXSL0P0efo/Td-dX1OG9AI/AAAAAAAAADE/kPApaHOJp2U/s320/Buddy%2Bplaying%2Bin%2Bthe%2Brice.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Buddy playing in the rice<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Vnd_pSGVaLI/Td-dXmdjnuI/AAAAAAAAAC8/RQkhP9Jey2k/s1600/Buddy%2Bin%2Bthe%2Bballs.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611376689513996002" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Vnd_pSGVaLI/Td-dXmdjnuI/AAAAAAAAAC8/RQkhP9Jey2k/s320/Buddy%2Bin%2Bthe%2Bballs.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Buddy in the Balls<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div>Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08872031298242518276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2341485648785322917.post-57547950693867054332011-05-23T21:13:00.012-04:002011-05-23T21:35:30.909-04:004 Ferrets in NeedI want to thank those who have stepped up to support these kids with your donations, it wouldn't be possible with out you.<br />Thanks so much<br /><br />These are the before pictures<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h22c-HUxFR8/TdsHZVEh7KI/AAAAAAAAACE/ZJA3InBZKts/s1600/Buddy%2Bafter.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h22c-HUxFR8/TdsHZVEh7KI/AAAAAAAAACE/ZJA3InBZKts/s320/Buddy%2Bafter.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610085892554353826" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_Q_rNTqXSfU/TdsHZABZ5II/AAAAAAAAAB8/0wwQmTV_lEc/s1600/Buddy%2Bchordoma.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 314px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_Q_rNTqXSfU/TdsHZABZ5II/AAAAAAAAAB8/0wwQmTV_lEc/s320/Buddy%2Bchordoma.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610085886904099970" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RTqKu9XPZPs/TdsHZLnVCCI/AAAAAAAAAB0/YEpADWhnAVQ/s1600/Buddy.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RTqKu9XPZPs/TdsHZLnVCCI/AAAAAAAAAB0/YEpADWhnAVQ/s320/Buddy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610085890015954978" border="0" /></a><br />Buddy<br /><br />Has a fascination with the cornstarch peanuts and chooses not only to play in them , but can be found snoozing in them as well.<br /><br />The growth on his neck was aspirated and we are waiting for the cytology report.<br />Dr. Gold has hopes that it is just a blocked salivary gland.

Not one of our<br />better fund raisers as the foot traffic in the shows seems to be<br />dwindling , but it was a day well spent !<br />Many many hours were logged in by friends /volunteers Karen,<br />Kasey and Jay, Carly , Julie and Herman, Erica, Lisa, Jennifer,<br />Andrea and kids, Farida, Michelle, Laurel, Melissa J, Jacob,<br />Stacy and Brittany who lovingly took care of the shelter and the<br />ferrets , were glued to the Mac and Photo shop in helping bring<br />Weasel Warhol to the public , or in the sweatshop cutting decals<br /><br />or ironing ..<br />Mostly , thanks to Tom for being the self sustained man he is,<br />and for never haven given me that dreaded ultimatum :)<br /><br />Nancy Wilson<br />Director<br />The Ferret InnNancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08872031298242518276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2341485648785322917.post-42403988306581092452011-04-03T07:58:00.005-04:002011-04-05T10:05:54.669-04:00Spring is here!Spring is here and that means longer sunny days, flowers, singing birds and if yours haven't already started, shedding ferrets!<br /><br />Unlike cats, ferrets can't 'cough up' any fur they ingest while grooming themselves during shedding time. If preventative measures aren't taken you can find yourself at the vet for expensive treatments that might even include surgery for intestinal blockages.<br /><br />What can you do to help?<br />Regular brushing of your ferret can help eliminate loose fur and can be a great bonding activity. Also giving your ferret regular doses of a hairball remedy will help keep the pipes clear. Not sure what hairball remedy to use? Check with your ferret friendly Vet to recommendations!Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08872031298242518276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2341485648785322917.post-72072275524935560492011-03-29T19:55:00.002-04:002011-03-29T19:58:56.054-04:00Another happy ending!Shelby also found a forever home with volunteer Jasmin.

It will be held at beautiful Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis. The event is from 8AM to noon, rain or shine. Ferrets are welcome, along with other types of furry kids. There is also a leash free dog park located within the park. You can choose a 1 mile, 2.5 mile, or 5 mile course if you decide to walk. But you can also just come and stop by all of the vendor booths. The Anne Arundel County Police’s K9 Unit puts on a fun demonstration from 10 to 11.<br /><br />The Ferret Inn will be there at one of the booths with adoptable ferrets. We will also be selling bedding, stickers, magnets, and t-shirts. We hope to see you there.<br /><br />You can visit <a href="http://www.aacspca.org">www.aacspca.org</a> for more information about the Walk for the Animals, including directions to Quiet Waters Park.Crystal Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12222616014212908620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2341485648785322917.post-61840600040779321872010-04-20T20:38:00.001-04:002010-04-20T20:41:47.691-04:00<span style="color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-size:130%;">March for the Animals a Success</span> </span><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">We attended the Maryland SPCA March for the Animals at Druid Hill Park in Baltimore this past Sunday. It was probably the biggest event we have been at to date, with thousands of people attending - along with a variety of four legged critters. Thanks go out to The MD SPCA for letting us be a part of their 15th annual March for the Animals. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br />A BIG “Thank You” goes out to Nancy and Tom Wilson, Jessica Welsh, and Tiffany Dunnigan for making our first SPCA event a success!<br /><br />We were able to catch up with some old friends, make some new friends (animals and people alike - including ferret owners, ferrets, and even a goat named Dandelion), raise some funds for the shelter, and get our name out there. The ferrets did great and are probably still sleeping off all the excitement.<br /><br />We missed everyone who wasn’t able to make it this year. It was quite an experience!<br /><br />Hopefully you will be able to make it out to our next event with the Anne Arundel County SPCA Walk for the Animals on May 2 at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis. (More information to follow)<br /><br />Thank you once again to all who contributed to this most recent success! </span>Crystal Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12222616014212908620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2341485648785322917.post-23569719087746069762010-04-14T12:21:00.002-04:002010-04-14T12:31:35.513-04:00<span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"><strong>March for the Animals</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">The 2010 March for the Animals will be held on Sunday, April 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Druid Hill Park.

First Sam, and then Blackie. Many of you were familiar with Blackie and Sam, and helped care for them while they spent days and nights at The Inn. I want to thank each of you, for caring for my kids as if they were your own, as you tended to their meds, and gruel, and gave them kisses and hugs.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Many of you have suffered similar losses, including long term residents of The Inn such as our precious Mary, and Hunny.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; "><b>What would life be for any of us without our precious furkids? </b></span></div><div><b><i><br /></i></b></div><div>This year has seen great economic challenges for all shelters and rescues. Each one of my now 7 (previously 9 ) furkids were once residents of The Ferret Inn. I am deeply grateful that they were delivered to The Inn, were they could be properly cared for, vetted, vaccinated, and nursed back to health, both physically and emotionally, and finally prepared for their forever home: MY HOME!. How lucky I am to receive such joy.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><i>What would life be with no shelter?</i></b></div><div><b><i><br /></i></b></div><div>Please remember, in this season of giving thanks, who cared for our furkids, and who was there to receive them when they were discarded by their previous owners, often malnutritioned, dehydrated, injured or neglected. The Ferret Inn has spent well over <i><b>12 thousand dollars </b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">in veterinary care alone this year, much less the cost of daily care...bedding, food, cleaning supplies, utility bills, transportation, etc.</span></i></div><div><br /></div><div>I am asking each of you, whose lives have been touched by The Ferret Inn, to consider picking a ferret to sponsor from the annual <a href="http://www.ferretgivingtree.com/showtree.php?treeid=26">Ferret Giving Tree 2009</a>, and to donate food, or to vet bills, or to volunteer a few more hours as a sign of hope that The Ferret Inn can continue to thrive with all of your generosity and help for yet another year, to offer a special respite to tired, weak, old or sick ferrets until they find their forever home.
